Lol he actually quote clipped you. Man that's guys looking for reasons to be petty. Make sure to talk in as simple terms as possible

I see your a conservative on a left leaning platform which that's got to be hilarious. Don't worry I think fediverse should be welcoming to the right and help the right make their own instance. I'm anti corporations so I'm happy if corporations lose audience do to their audience doing their own thing.

That guy is obsessed and really wants other people to hate you. Personally I ignore the peer pressure nonsense

Lol yesh they got obsessed with me to the point that I had to delete old accounts. Like I posted a story about how I kept calling out a developer for always hyping and never delivering and even lying. They basically would not let me post it on any other community and they even successfully got shit post c/ to delete the story.

Funniest thing is that I posted it to a obscure 200 followers community and one of them still found it and started attacking me.

These people are hilarious. They're petty and I'm petty, and they're the embodiment of anger (irrational) mod

i fucked up, i meant i wouldn't care if someone is rude or unqualified. also forming attacks me based things i said is hilarious. i don't even bother defending myself to people like you, mostly because you don't want to hear me out.

Oh okay. I did have a conversation I tried to explain a litteral conspiracy and I kept getting called a conspiracy theorist

[–] PixelPilgrim 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

well i don't say that its orchestrated or premeditated, its generally that group wants to feel part of a group and they look for signs that they're part of a group. the "tipping point" is a comment (or even a downvote on op replies) and then people that seek approval align themselves with the largest group.

I told the anti ai crowd that i was going to make an ai bot somewhere on the fediverse just to see how people would interact with it fedizens, simply to satify my curiosity, so that's the context. i just telling people "you're being an asshole to me and making demands from me while I'm just trying to hear you out, so i don't feel like changing for you"

ehhh i wouldn't it way to start and angry mob and sometimes i dont trust mods descension. since even servers with no rules will make up reasons for a ban

[–] PixelPilgrim 1 points 1 month ago (22 children)

yeah i noticed they tend to go after certain posts and they need to be primed by either downvotes or a comment. the rude people will be quiet if you make safe posts but if they get a hint that there other people that don't like you then they dogpile. i noticed a good way to trigger it is to basically say or imply you do things without their approval or you dont care what they think

[–] PixelPilgrim 2 points 1 month ago

i noticed that too. i chalk it up to people are always seeking approval and they want to tell express to everyone how the think and feel in hopes that people will express the same. its not everyone id say at most 30%. also you have to keep in mind that this is where the reddit rejects go (i can say that word because i got banned off of reddit lol).

another user got mad and attacked me for saying "my morality and logic is different" and said nothing about why my differences is bad.

I actually didn't pursue a an llm ai project because the suggested model needed like 32 gigs of ram (i dont have that and i dont want to by a machine for that project).

i jokingly call llm ai dubious linear algebra. i try to see an arguement against llm ai, like i sided with the writers guild in the strike and I can sympathize with ai trained on their work taking there job so they lost out on income and job they want, but im a socialist so i believe that the economy should provide them a house and food without having to work and that shouldn't need to rely on writing gigs to survive

[–] PixelPilgrim 2 points 1 month ago

I'm trying to think if that has happened to me, but I try to keep it simple like "i dont understand what you mean my X are you saying Y?". that probably gets me different set of interactions. One time I even tried humbling myself and just say "I'm still learning all of this and trying to figure out my mistakes..." and such ill get bereted(by strangers). i try to power through the insults and just ask what they mean and it still comes off as you being offensive

[–] PixelPilgrim 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

yeah i see that marx said

[doing away] with all repose, all fixity and all security as far as the worker’s life-situation is concerned; how it constantly threatens, by taking away the instruments of labour, to snatch from his hands the means of subsistence, and, by suppressing his specialised function, to make him superfluous

but that's marx just saying industrialization is threating working class. im not seeing much myth just boring explanations of workers relation to machinery

I do use perplexity and chatgpt to code a lot. i really rather not go to stack overflow and try to understand three posts and figure out an implementation. I'm fine with that being automated

 

In you're daily life do people praise psychotic people or behavior? Most of the time I feel like I'm a psycho that has to work with general public. It's not like I'm aggressive, I just decide that how a stranger feels doesn't matter as much as whatever I need.

 

I don't have my setup for compiling apps in front of me. just curious if its anything like the apk?

 

This post is for posterity sake. Since the initial publishing of this post, loops app has updated. Idk if the source code would compile into the loops by pixelfed app release on the loops website. If it does that's awesome and more people can contribute and integrate it into the rest of the fediverse.

TL;DR: Loops is doomed because Daniel Supernault doesn’t actually want to develop it or release the source code properly. I’ll try to provide evidence where I can, but a lot of evidence was destroyed via bans from the Discord, so I can’t retrieve my messages, and All I have are files I saved on my hard drive and mastodon links.

How I Got Involved I got into Loops because of the TikTok ban scare and wanted to help develop a non-corporate fediverse alternative to TikTok and YouTube Shorts. I signed up, made two accounts (wasn’t sure why I couldn’t log in), and got approved after two days. Once I had an account, I downloaded the Android APK and joined the Discord. I introduced myself as someone who wanted to help and mentioned that I had tried (and failed) to make a Fediverse app before. I was interested in seeing where Loops would go. For about 12 days, I made videos for Loops, making sure there was consistent content so the platform didn’t go 10 minutes without something new. I also helped in Discord, answering questions about account activations and discussing how Loops could become a major part of the Fediverse (which, as of 2/16/2025, it still isn’t). I thought if Loops could launch before the next TikTok scare, it had a real shot.

I Start Asking Questions After 12 days of making content and being active in Discord, I was getting bored. I wanted to figure out why there weren’t any real developments. I knew Daniel had promised on Discord that Loops would be open-source “by the weekend” (this was 12 days ago). To me, that meant publishing the source code. So, I made a video calling him out (archived here: dalek.zone/w/jUUYe11xDvjz15ZRAxQuy7) and posted it on Discord. A few minutes later, Daniel deleted the link and removed the video from Loops. His only response was, “Misinformation is not appreciated”—with no further context. To me, this reaction was suspicious. He didn’t explain why he hadn’t released the source code. He didn’t ignore it either, which I interpreted him as being guarded.

Getting Banned from the Discord After Daniel’s reaction, I started wondering if Loops was a waste of my time. Was anything actually happening? I tried decompiling the Android APK to see what was inside but couldn’t get it to recompile. I thought about forking the Loops GitHub with the decompiled source and posting it in GitHub as a fork—but I didn’t even need to. Instead, I asked why Loops wasn’t just a PeerTube instance, since PeerTube already worked on short formed video content with a tik Tok like interface. I even made another video about it: dalek.zone/w/fVW4GbW79bBpiyLrDGJBBa. The last thing that happened before my ban was me asking if anyone was actually doing work on Loops. Instead of answering, they flipped the question back on me. I replied, “Yes, I am decompiling the source code so we can do work.” after, Discord glitched, the Loops server disappeared, and I was locked out. My Loops account was also deleted. This made it clear: Daniel didn’t want me questioning loops or suggesting that PeerTube could do the job better.

Calling Him Out on Mastodon After my ban on discord, I did more research on Daniel and kept calling him out on Mastodon as a warning to others. Eventually, he did publish a “source code” for Loops. Just to spite him, I thanked Michael Downey (mastodon.social/@Cattail/113932221184535082) for pushing him to release it by asking him a question. But two hours later, I pointed out that the APK and the published source code didn’t match: (mastodon.social/@Cattail/113932308245134257).

Conclusion I’m glad I did what I did because it saved me from wasting more time on Loops. Instead, I built a bot that announces when Fediverse streamers go live on Mastodon, which actually helps the community. Daniel is asking for money that would be better spent on PeerTube development or maintaining existing Fediverse instances. Daniel is deceiving people, pretending Loops is making progress when it’s really just a rehash of Pixelfed. His Kickstarter has no deadline and only vague updates. If you still want to support him, that’s on you. I’ve seen enough.

I've told my story about how I pushed Daniel to post the source code for loops by pixelfed, of course a lot of people don't like my methods which i understand. My morality and logic is just different.

But seems in past 24 hours loops GitHub code has undergone updates. https://github.com/joinloops/loops-app

It correlate with me posting my story on Lenny for the past few days. I won't looking into the code posted. Someone else can verify if the loops code matches the APK you get when making an account from the website.

After 5 years of development loops is becoming open source and passionate people of the fediverse can hopefully improve loops.

As for me I'm hoping to build up niche communities in the fediverse so there more engagement.
